do you want gains or not op

Why not rent a UHaul pickup and buy a decent rack in one of the major coastal cities?

AKbro here. Alaska club is a rip off. There's some cheap local gyms in anchorage. If you're in Fairbanks or elsewhere idk what to tell you.

Do push-ups and buy a pull-up bar.

>manage in rural

By getting a home gym.

I don't see why you people have such a hard time figuring this out. A home gym is literally a power rack, adjustable bench, plates and some accessory equipment.

It's not expensive if you actually work, hell I bought my gym when I was on NEETbux and i bought a rogue rack and bumpers which is all expensive shit compared to buying some generic rack and generic plates.


The only issue I could see there ever being with a home gym is space.

A home gym is not expensive
Unless your job in alaska is at mcdonalds or some shit.faM

I know your pain OP, I had a bizzare deployment in Gibraltar as an archaeologists assistant digging up some world war 2 crap for a year, not a single gym in the fucking country and literally impossible to import a package larger than a suitcase, the only heavy lifting i managed to do was hucking tractor tires around a field.

with shipping here and shipping it back when i leave or selling it when i leave plus retarded canadian import tariffs even if im buying from america, i'm paying at the fucking minimum twice as much as it would cost in a first world state for a rack and plates.
and yeah obviously i'm making the kind of money where i can afford it, but with stupid expenses like that it kind of defeats the purpose of going to a hellhole to make lots of money in the first place.

The numbers sound nice until you start doing the math. I have friends always asking me to relocate for work in San Francisco and I won't do it unless they offer me $250k minimum. I'd easily make $140k+ there with my current skill set and result, but it's not worth it.
